Update standard library to use Orc objects and other new features cleanly and "ideomatically" #161

Open arthurp opened 7 years ago

OrcO adds Orc sites, objects, classes with inheritance, etc. The standard library was written without any of these. We should update the library to use these features and provide features that will be useful with them. For instance, we should consider adding some of the object tools that are now examples to the standard library. Similarly, we should look for other classes for direct use or subclassing that would be useful. The addition of Orc sites also allows some new standard operations such as kill handling.
